Now in its eighth year, the Las Vegas Jewish Film Festival continues to expand and build on its success, this year branching out to encompass 13 films and three different venues. Beginning January 17, the festival will take place primarily at the theater inside the new Performing Arts Center at the Adelson School in Summerlin. Two screenings are set for the Cinemark Theaters at the South Point, and the festival’s final movie will be shown at the Historic Fifth Street School Downtown.
